- What's up, guys? I am Machine Gun Kelly,
and welcome to the gym.
(upbeat rock music)
We're gonna train a little bit today.
For those who are wondering if I even trained,
fair enough 'cause this wasn't the case years ago,
but a lot of years of doing a lot of stuff
has led me to believe that I gotta keep on living',
gotta get stronger.
My performance on stage for the last 10 years,
I think is unmatched outside of the greats
like the Prince's, the Michael Jackson's,
the Rage Against the Machine's, the Nirvana's.
I'm just trying to take it to the next level.
And, I think when you're climbing 60-foot metal scaffolding,
arm strength, and leg strength and mental strength matters.
So, let's get a training session in. (clapping)
(heavy bass music)
So, before we start, we're gonna get some stretching in.
One of my favorite quotes someone told me was that
your age isn't how old you are, but how flexible you are.
With that being said,
we're gonna put one knee down right here,
we're gonna put a leg straight out to the side
with the toes facing you.
Put an arm down, reach in,
get a nice extension on the leg, and a nice pull.
And we're gonna reach to the sky
and open our chest up like this.
And get that stretch in here in your groin,
so that you can use your groin.
It's a very important muscle, man.
All right, we're just warming up, like I said.
Instead of just doing a normal squat,
which is both feet squared up doing like this,
we're gonna do it a little bit different.
We're gonna take one of the toes,
line it up with the heel of the other foot,
and kinda get a slight bend in them,
keep your back straight.
We're gonna go down for a nice squat.
Come back up, and we'll do 10 of those.
So, keep it like this.
It really pisses me off when I see people do squats
with their back like this, so let's not do that.
Just keep it straight,
and then plop down and take a giant shh,
and then go ahead and come back up.
We're gonna do that 10 times.
Okay, third part of the at-home kind of warm-up, stretching.
For this we're gonna do a standard push-up.
Go down to the ground.
When you come back up, tap the shoulder, come back down.
So, it will go like this.
And then, you really want to make sure
that your core is tight,
and that your butt and your back isn't moving too much.
Almost like, if you were to set a cup of ice water
on your back, that it would stay,
it would stay on there, it wouldn't fall off.
Nice and poised, go down, come back up, keep it stiff.
That cup of water's still on my back.
All right, so I always think about how Prince was,
you know, 45 years old, 50 years old
doing full splits on stage.
But then coming off,
and then having to take all these pain killers
just to walk around.
And a lot of my performance on stage
reflects that wild movement.
I'm also six-foot four, so just crunch my body up
and jump off 20-foot platforms and stuff.
You know, it takes it's toll on your body.
So that we're not 50 years old
taking pain killers just to move,
we should, again, open up the hip area a little more,
stretch it.
So, we'll put a knee down, put a knee in front,
and we'll just bend forward like this,
and to this three times front-ward.
So that's three, and we'll take it,
put it at a 45-degree angle, point it that way.
Bend that way, so you're stretching all of this.
And then we'll go to a 90-degree angle, take your foot out,
and stretch like that.
And if you're not doing the splits in two months
after doing that, then you didn't do it right!
(hard-bass music)
Okay, this exercise is called the staggered-stance deadlift.
So, you're gonna again line up the toe of one foot
with the heel of the other foot.
We're gonna get some weights like this.
We're gonna bend down, now when we do,
we're gonna keep our knees bent and our back straight.
This is a lot about your hamstrings and your posture,
your lower-back posture, so.
Pick it up, bring it up here,
get yourself a decent amount of weight.
We'll bend forward.
Keep the knees bent though, very important.
Like this, back straight, let it go low.
Pick it up.
Keep it up.
If your friend is drunk on the floor,
you bend down, get up buddy.
Whew, see?
This goes beyond the gym, this helps us in real life.
All right, so that's my trainer, Nick.
I hate him and love him,
'cause I hate him when I see him in the morning,
but I love him when the training session's over.
And these are called, what are these called?
- [Nick] Incline press. - Incline press.
And what are these in my hands?
- [Nick] Fat bells. - Big fat stupid bells.
So you just take them right here.
- [Nick] Big press, yep.
(fat bells clinking) - Nice big press.
- [Nick] Deep breathes. Good.
- Nick, will you tell these people how much these weigh?
250 pounds each. - [Nick] Yeah.
No, these are only 90 a piece.
- So, 250 pounds a piece. (Nick laughing)
Out there for anyone watching.
And reference for what I'm beasting out right now.
- [Nick] Two more to go. (fat bells clinking)
Okay, do one more, one more.
All right, this exercise right here is about our core
and our anger a little bit.
So, we're gonna take this ball,
we're gonna toss it against the wall.
Get a full rotation, get your foot like this,
like you're squishing a bug.
And, the exercise goes like this.
(banging and punching sounds)
Something like that, and then we'll switch sides.
Get a different rotation.
(banging sounds)
(upbeat music)
(punching sounds)
And now we've got our core tight, warmed up.
(whispering) And I'm a little less angry.
This is a jammer right here,
and this exercise is a jammer row.
So, we'll take it, plant our feet in,
squeeze it to our ribs,
keep our elbows kind of tucked in tight.
And we're gonna work our back muscles out, so let's get it.
(upbeat music)
Row, row, row your (beep) boat.
(clapping) The jammer row.
Whew, all right Men's Health, thank you guys for watching.
This has been the Machine Gun Kelly Total Body Workout
for today.
I'm gonna go ahead and bust a celebratory back-flip out
real quick 'cause I'm just that excited.
Look at that real quick, though.
(pounding) Oh my God, did you guys see that?
Crazy. Have a good night.
(upbeat music)
